Discreetly Rondine

I need a break from all of it,
people pushing and pulling me.
I’ll fight to the death to be free,
don’t discount strategy and grit. 
Is there spray for what they emit? 
Something to protect discreetly? 
I need a break
from all the bleakness they transmit. 
Their perfume stings aggressively
it’s like wandering through debris.
Treading in all that blood

A Discreetly Broken Cloud At Sunset

Sunshine beams so directly onto a discreetly broken cloud
The tree line below it beckons thee so somber so proud
The cloud replies so reverently so utterly loud
Won't you stay with me? I plea darkness is such a shroud

Discreetly

Cool
hot notes
fall wayward
from her
intentionally
a second time
favored
but still showery
doubts
rain delicately 

She shakes
the puzzle
from its 
sleepy nest
but gives
no help
to its faintly struggle

then she remembers 
why
she's eaten
the words
                    discreetly.

Disintegrate Discreetly

DISINTEGRATE DISCREETLY

I am swimming, see no land;
The sea black darkened silence.
The only sound my grappling hand
In a tinted glass of violence.

No fish no coast no one is there;
Only me in icy stillness.
I look around, can only stare
In pitch black oily darkness.

A naked fish, in water still;
A helpless struggling creature.
A drowning small one, only filled
With lack

Discreetly Overridden

Pixies riding butterflies
corral a bunny rabbit.
And over the centuries,
they have gotten good at it.

Fairies weave a straw basket
that they fill with colored eggs.
Yet, they can't get the bunny
to stand on its two hind legs.

That will require the finesse
of a young elvish Queen's touch.
For, after sprouting her wings,
her powers increase that much.

She grinds some unicorn horn

Discreetly

discreetly 
the lies drip from the tongue &
the hidden life is behind the eyes
just far enough out of reach
that the conversational partner
cannot grasp the monster just a few feet away from them---
the talk goes on this way &
it may lead to other things,
since the night is so young &
one drink can lead to another,
s/he stands

Glorified Discreetly

Living on margin he was deceived again.
A grasshopper was perched on door
shedding green pigment.

Granary was empty and he was,
worried about the health of nation.
Glare and splendor always hurt his eyes.

In the name of prosperity, leftovers
set the dirty houses apart
from polished faces.

He was again afraid of interior –
bursting with statements of elegance,
releasing the bald answers to
